How do garden centres deter slugs and snails?
My family have a nursery and we use slug pellets that are environmentally friendly, and 100% safe for wildlife and pets (except slugs and snails). Depending where you live, I’d contact local nurseries and look for this type – not the typical poisonous slug pellets, which do cause harm. One company called Growing Success makes one brand. We also use nematodes, that are microscopic living creatures which prey on slugs and lead to their death. They’re naturally around us, but by adding higher population levels you manage to control the slug population. You buy a powder, containing these creatures, mix with water and water it around the garden, they then go away and attack the slugs. Eg – http://www.harrodhorticultural.com/Harro… Finally, if you have any pots, you can buy a thin copper tape that will adhere to your pots, and this prevents slugs and snail
